Life Aboard

Whenever Morty is patiently waiting, he will lie down and stare at you. His legs disappear into the fluff and he looks like a furry log with a face.

Sailing by the Stars Shirt.png

Artur Bordalo II is a street artist based out of Lisbon. I did a previous post of his bunny in Porto, but here are three more of his trash animals that we came across in Lisbon: a bobcat, a raccoon and a fly!

We did a pub crawl with some super fun people from our hostel, but It ended in a club with a strict dress code and Herby and I got kicked out for not having proper footwear. We ended up walking home through the empty streets of Lisbon at 4am, but we didn’t mind. These are the streets of Bairro Alto.

This is The Igreja Santa María de Belém. The cathedral dates back to the 16th century and is absolutely stunning inside and out. And yes, the sky was indeed that blue!

Our amazing experience at the Time Out Market in Lisbon!! This place is sort of like a glorified food court with an incredible selection of meets, fish, and Asian cuisine. We tried the grilled squid and the scallops on squid ink risotto and were NOT disappointed! This was the perfect introduction to Lisbon’s atmosphere and food.

The oldest neighborhood in Porto is a beautiful walk that none of the tourists do. We stumbled upon it while wandering through side streets just for fun and it’s been a highlight of our Portuguese journey! The oldest house in the neighborhood was from the 1200s.

Two more from the Livraria Lello. This bookstore was so enchanting, but someday I’d like to visit when it’s not chock full of tourists. I realize that’s a bit hypocritical since I was indeed one of the tourists...

Livraria Lello is a gorgeous bookstore in Porto. It’s best known for its very unique staircase and as the inspiration for Hogwarts imagery in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. Unfortunately, it was so crowded with tourists that it was difficult to fully appreciate the beauty of this small gem. Still, we happily walked out with two books and many photographs.

I finally went and uploaded some more photos from Porto, so here’s a cat 😊

Hangin out with Kevin from How to Sail Oceans! He’s a full time liveaboard and cruiser from Maine who anchors along the East Coast and spends time in the Caribbean. Kevin retired early and has chosen the simple life. He writes music and performs at open mic nights whenever he can and, oh did we mention? He doesn’t have a motor! It was a pleasure to meet him during his time in Baltimore before we head back to Wisdom in Portugal.

Newest episode is up on YouTube!! This is SUCH an exciting episode. We are back at the boat and putting on the finishing touches like bottom paint before FINALLY splashing back into the water after 10 months!!! It also includes a very unique dance sequence by Maddie and her cousin.
